of signs and miracles

of signs and of miracles
random thoughts

i have been desperate for quite so many times. and as they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. to cite an example, i was so desperate in my financial management class that i used a small codigo where i wrote all 30 plus financial formulas. it worked. i got the grade that i wanted. a grade that was a little beyond passing, as a matter of fact. yes i cheated. like i said, it was a desperate time and it was a desperate measure. it soon passed and i completely forgot about it.

sometimes, during these desperate times, i hope. i pray. and i ask for help and strength and miracles and signs on how i want my prayers to be answered. more oftent than not, i am so into my prayers and thoughts that i am blinded by these. and i forgot to see the signs. i did not see it as it stares at me in the face. i brush it off, thinking that it is just a coincidence and i ask for a bigger than life signs. maybe i asked for a burning bush of some sort but i was hopeful. and i prayed a little more. again, hoping for those signs that i wanted, maybe this time, a talking dog. ofcourse i did not get a talking dog or a burning bush or a comet to hit the sahara. it was plain ignorant. not stupid but ignorant. over time, i got more and more desperate that i just wanted to surrender. and that's what i did. i prayed and i surrendered everything. let thy will be done. and i got an answered prayer. i was so dumbfounded about everything when all i got to do was to surrender.

as for my sign, as i am typing this, i am still waiting for it. for i may never know. it might just be a friend to pat me on the back. a person that i made happy who thanked me. or the air that i breathe. maybe i'm not really hoping for a miracle. maybe we are our own miracles. i don't really know. but i guess we are.

pardon the incoherent, and incohesive sentences. my mind thinks faster than what my fingers could type.

windex

windex: the all around house helper


just today, i discovered that some ANAY were living with me. yes, its overly gross but hey, at least i have company. hehe kidding. i was to launder all my curtains when i discovered that beneath the shining shimmering splendidly pink curtain my mom had in the living room were ants which i thought was ANAY enough to be called ANAY. they were building their ant castles all over the cracks and crevices of my wall (thanks to the earthquake during the early 90's). after freaking out mildly (because this was not the first time i discovered this and used insecticide all over the wall), i got my baygon and i was on an insect-repellant-happy-rush. i sprayed over, beneath and over again on the cracks and the wall itself. unfortunately for my insecticide-happy self, the trusty insecticide ran out. so what do i do? i got my windex from the america of the states of the united which my mom sent me. and boy did it do wonders. not only did it kill all the tiny pesters but it also help whiten the wall - nice! hey, windex could use my testimony right now and make more money! the hit movie "my big fat greek wedding" also has something to say about windex, it cures all skin abrasions, diseases and insect bites and whatever-you-haves. so again thanks windex! for making my life a little easier!

ciao!

summer class

summer class


in a matter of days, my life would then be back to computations, problem solving and financial statements analysis. a normal day for me. haha. but i think this time, i will be liking it - even if it means that i will be doing that for the rest of the summer. i dont know why i get this feeling but i think i can get, for the first time in my semi-pathetic life, a 4.0 in this subject. oh well, wish me luck.


i love my marlboro.
it fills the void of boredom
it fills the air with smoke
amongst the monotony of silence.

love my marlboro.
it gives me something to kiss.
in a life where i could not kiss
nor hold.

i love my marlboro.
it gives me something to write.
though it seems that it's senseless
it still occupies me.


hey guess what, i just wrote that impromptu and i think its pathetic. big time. LOL.

ciao!

what do i do

what do i do

i know ive been to puerto just a coupla weeks ago. but now, my barkada is urging me to join them this time. i would really love it. i would rather go to puerto than go to bora. even if going to bora means that i would only have to pay 1500 for the two-way plane fare. but going there also means having to spend a lot of money, which, right now, i really don' have. on the other hand, puerto means fun and having to go there with my long time friends. AAANNND, spending only a coupla hundreds, literally. thanks macky! hahaha! :)

i really really really really wish and want to go to galera with my friends!!!!

two days

two days

one sabado night

saturday night. after facing the computer for several hours and doing some adobe projects, cheska called me up and said that we should go out with jd. i said yes and ten minutes later jd came to my house along with migs and told me to dress up. i know i said yes to cheska but i was expecting jd not to go because i have no money. have to save for bora and galera. but i still got dressed and went to greenbelt. right after we got there, we met cheska and went to uva. we stayed there for a couple of hours doing nothing and not ordering. like i said, ive no money. so what we did there basically was to kill our lungs with smoke. everybody was socializing with everybody. i was not on my socializing self so we decided to go by 1:30. and the evening ended there.


a kid's party

today i went to jollibee san juan to attend the birthday of my friend's daughter, dream. she is so adorable and cute and jolly. buti nalang sa jollibee siya nag birthday. and speaking of jollibee, i think the mascot, before donning his costume has taken drugs or something similar because he was so stoned and very much acting like a perv. imagine having his eyes semi closed while making a lady dance. how pathetic. anyway, like i said dream was so cute and adorable. i dont know where she got those superlatives. definitely not from her mom. kidding eka! hehe..

and o, im thinking of going to galera again or to bora naman.. i wish both.. but moolah is one thing that i dont have right now. whatever lord, please makapunta ako kahit sa isa lang. hehe ;)

ciao!

and it all came to pass..

and it all came to pass..

but i dont know if i'll pass.. will i pass finama1?
for all those who dont know what finama1 means, here's the definition

finama [fin-a-mauh] : a subject not really helpful for marketing students,
it only adds to the burden of work they already have. a subject full of formulas (try 50) with no formula sheet. a subject not really good for the
faint-hearted-math-hating-accounting-hating people. a freaky subject that brings
you home a truckoad of homeworks (OA...)

now. i got a 2.0 in my saletax classes. not bad.
and this moment begins the long and hear-attacking series of anticipation and more anxiety.

wish me luck on the 15th!

by the way,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TOOTSIE

ciao!

il papa

just like the dove, pure and lofty...
you were born,
you grew up,
and you lived.
lived for the people,
lived for the lord.
il papa
oh how i wish
to be just a mere shadow of you!
you who made almost anything
seem easy and light,
breezy and calm,
sunny and bright.
yet on your shoulders
rests the worries of the world.
each man.
each day.
you live for them.
your spirit can light up
the whole world.
even the universe.
i can only fathom
the deep, serious,
and true love
you have for the people you cared for so much.

greatness personified
your time on earth can never measure
the greatness that shines,
illuminates,
the old and tired spirit.
your light will kindle forever
in the greater glory
of god.
yes, goobye...

may the angels in heaven sound their trumpets on your journey homemay the lord keep you in his arms forever.
you have touched my life like no one else has.
